Engineers host students from Mexi
By Rachel Dawley
Staff writer
The American Society of Mechanical Engi
neers (ASME) and the American Society of
Agriculture Engineers (ASAE) hosted 22 stu
dents from Universidad de Guanajuato at
Salamanca during the students’ visit to Texas
A&M this weekend.
The students toured laboratories and other
campus buildings and visited industries in the
Bryan-College Station area, including the Blue
Bell Creamery in Brenham and the Messina Hof
winery.
Students also participated in Midnight Yell and
attended the A&M-University of Southwestern
Louisiana football game.
AlejandraVivas-L6pez, a junior electronics en
gineering major from Mexico, said she learned
not only about the education and programs of
fered by A&M, but also about culture in the Unit
ed States.
“Education is much more expensive in Amer
ica,” Vivas-Lopez said. “I only paid $ 120 in Amer
ican dollars last year in tuition and fees. But you
have many facilities that give you an advantage
and an easier environment."
Vivas-Lopez said understanding culture is im
portant in communication.
“I now think I need to learn to speak English,”
Vivas-Ldpez said. “It is a necessity. This experi
ence is a motivation to be a better student and a
better person — it helps you know that you can
do it.”
Dr. Abel Hernandez-Guerrero, a visiting me
chanical engineering professor at A&M from Uni
versidad de Guanajuato, coordinated the me
chanical engineering section of the program.
Hernandez received his bachelor’s degree from
Guanajuato and his master’s and doctorate de
grees from Oregon State University.
Hernandez coordinated a similar exchange
last spring break in which A&M students traveled
to Mexico to visit Universidad de Guanajuato.
Students studied academics, visited industries
and explored language and culture.
“I believe in the international experience for
both sets of students,” Hernandez said. “I’ve been
able to travel and 1 have a wider perspective. In
school, we learned technical courses but didn’t
learn to work with people. Students need experi
ence in working with people of other cultures and
languages, as well as an understanding of the eco
nomics of other countries. They should leam the
way people respond to different situations and be
able to communicate.”
Dr. Wayne LePori, an agriculture engineering
professor at A&M, worked with the agriculture
engineering exchange. He said the program gives
participants the opportunity to work with other
students and to form bonds.
“Students get things they can’t get in the class
room,” LePori said. “They learn differences and
similarities. This goes beyond the normal educa
tion experience and opens up a whole new world
and expands horizons. Students leam that peo
ple are different, but people are the same.”
Jeremiah Friddell, director of the agriculture
engineering section of the program ar^
agriculture engineering major, said the^
program was established to expose st
other universities and other cultures.
Friddell said the two universities ha\ (
curricula and perform similar research 1
Universidad de Guanajuato has fewer r
available.
“Some of the students are considerin
ate school at A&M,” Friddell said. “Thej:
is a great opportunity to see how our coun
do the same jobs that we do. I look for
traveling to Mexico on the exchange pro;

Cabrera attended A&M from 1988-93 an
ceived his M.S. and Ph.D in agricultureengii
ingfrom the University. Cabrera wanted tot
some of his students to Texas A&M to see its
culture engineering department.
“To me, the main focus of the program
give students the opportunity to see a die
culture,” Cabrera said. “I hope students seel
things can be done with more resources. I hi
that the program develops into a tradition"

“There are other reasons to go
to Harry’s, like country dancing
and socializing.”
Jay Goss, an attorney representing
Harry’s, said an appeal has been filed
with an appellate court in Waco.
Goss said Harry’s is waiting for
a decision.
“We asked them to expedite it,”
Goss said. “We have about 100 em
ployees, ... and we hope to know as
soon as possible.”
Bryan District Judge John De
laney denied an appeal by Harry’s
to keep their liquor license last
Wednesday.
Attorneys representing Harry’s
appealed to a district court Sept.
12 after a Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission official denied a re
quest for a hearing over the can
cellation of the license.
Randy Yarborough, assistant
administrator ofTABC, overturned
an administrative law judge’s rec
ommendation that the bar’s li
cense be suspended for 15 days or
pay a $15,000 fine.

“It is not just for education ma
jors,” Spence said. “This is a very
structured program. We have the
children and the materials. We just
need volunteers.”
The demand for H.O.S.T.S. vol
unteers has prompted organiza
tions on campus and in Bryan-
College Station to participate in
the program.
John Proctor, a H.O.S.T.S. volun
teer and a sophomore biochemistry
major, said that as commumr,
vice chair of Phi Eta SigmaNaM
Honor Society, he has recmite;
er members to participate.
“We are an honor society
